I seen trucks on the streets that try to do the same 2 tone fade they don't look good.. This is what a nice 2 tone fade paint should look like...
a nice soft 2 tone fade. I think that blue and white color would look good if done like the fade on the picture.

Today I went to get a quote to get my 1971 240z front and rear bumpers re-chrome and to fill all the holes were the rubbers bolt too. the front bumper was cracked and it was bent. So he quote me for $250 a piece so $500 for the 2 he said he'll have them in 2 to 3 weeks.. I'll post pics when I get them back.
Is that a good price?
The shop is called CLASSIC AUTO MOLDING FINISHING in Balwin Park,CA (626)814-0811

Sorry but white for a sports car is crap, any mid shade metallic would be better, white just blanks out the lines and curves of the S30.
Have a look at the green S30 in the gallery on my website and see the curves and lines a mid shade metallic bring out.
look at this car do you think that color is crap?
-

ARCTIC WHITE exept for flares black. Live in RIALTO.
